Gettle, an old settler of this community, had died suddenly on the train while on the way to visit his children in Bird City, Kansas, with Mrs. Gettle, his death having been caused by heart failure. For the past fifteen years or more the Gettles have lived in Iowa, but two or three months ago they came back here to assist in the care of Grandpa and Mrs. D G. Fager. At the time he left Franklin he was apparently in the best of health and death came to him quickly. "The body was brought back to this place on No. 16 and taken to the home of E. N. Fager in the southeast part of town, where the funeral was conducted at two o'clock Thursday afternoon with Rev. J. H. Beitel in charge, and burial was made in Greenwood cemetery. "Thomas Gettle, son of Lewis and Mary Gettle, was born in Ephrate, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, December 6, 1856, and died at Franklin, Nebraska, March 7, 1921, aged 64 years, 3 months and 1 day. "He was married to Annie C. Fager, December 25, 1879, at Cedarville, Illinois. They came to Franklin early in 1880, and resided here continuously for 31 years. Through the first twenty years of this time he was engaged in the hardware business, and later in milling and other lines of work. His quiet and unassuming manner and straightforward and honorable business methods won for him a long and loyal circle of friends and he became influential and helpful in the development of the earlier life of the town and community. He was a kind and devoted husband ad a father who was always faithful to the responsibilities of his home and family. "He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, four sons and six daughters: one daughter the eldest having died in childhood. The children are Annie May, buried in Greenwood cemetery; Mrs. H. M. Robinson, Mrs. A. L. Burton and Miss Dorothy of Franklin; Mrs. Homer Bain of Eckley, Colorado; Thomas Jr., and Lewis, of Bird City, Kansas; Mrs. A. E. Beitel of Gillette, Wyoming; Frank and McKinley of Goodland, Kansas; and Mrs. Glenn Snapp of Belleville, Kansas. "There are also twelve grandchildren, two brothers and three sisters, all of whom except one brother, were present at his funeral. The brothers and sisters present were: Mrs. Hannah Steiner, of Walsenburg, Colorado; Mrs. Emma Witter of Cimmeron, Kansas, Lincon Gettle of Mann, Oklahoma and Mrs. O. K. Chirwwod of Franklin. "The last eight weeks of his life were spent among his relatives and friends here in Franklin. "Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Fager, conducted by Rev. J. H. Beitel, and body was laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery. "The News joins with the host of friends of the sorrowing ones in extending heartfelt sympathy in their hour of sorrow."
